I would like to chime in on Chris' Franzen Farms too. I have visited this farm as a tester and found it to be the cleanest farm I have ever visited. Franzen Farms has great pride in their birds and it shows at every opportunity. The birds are beautiful! Denise Paradise Found

We are working right now to legalize up to 10 in Joliet, IL. I have been brought on as an advisor since I am in unincorporated Joliet and have a farm but I still believe it should be legal in the cit too. Crest Hill IL, I THINK allows birds, Naperville I am sure does, but the restrictions are...

That golden thinks they are HIS babies. He watches what I do with them as if he were the mother hen. Hilarious! He lays down and they climb all over him. When they get tired they snuggle up to him and get warm, cozy and then fall asleep. Too cute. If he wants to get up with them all over...

Good Idea Jerry's Mom!!! Here is a portion of what I sent to them: Dear Will County Board; I would like to ask you to consider 2 issues of concern to me. 1) The Herald News reported some people in unincorporated Will County has to get rid of their chickens. I believe chicken (hens only)...

I was in the hospital and could not attend. Been quite ill lately. (I'm better now, thanks for asking.) So how did it go? Was there much to learn and interesting to see? I sure wanted to be there. Denise

Welcome Windy & Amy! Nice to have some closer neighbors here in the communist state of Illinois. Our farm is just outside of Joliet. It's nice to know we have new friends so close! Welcome to the neighborhood! Tell us a little more about yourselves and your chickens or soon to be had...

Hey Look what I found! I was searching for a way to get some one to help the animals cruelly confined and abused at the neighboring farm. I still can no one to come out but while I was searching, I came across this that spells out our rights as animal keepers in regards to unleashed dogs...
